A winter river

Our son, Forrest, has a blog of his own called Highcountry Hillbillies.It’s all about snowmobiling, which although I’m no snowmobiler, you can imagine we need the know how up here.Well, Forrest has more than the know how.He has the passion.He loves every aspect of snowmobling, from riding the back country, to doing all kinds of “tricks” I’ll get into later like jumping and dropping (yikes), and even, as he calls it, “tweaking.”(I call it “mechanicking.”)

This is Forrest on a ride with Bob, way high up there where my snowshoes just don’t make it in a day!

Anyway, there’s a lot more to Forrest than snowmobiling, as you can imagine, growing up in this environment.I’m definitely the loving and doting mom and could go on and on.But I know you don’t need to read that!What you might enjoy reading are his poems.So I’ve asked him to be my “Guest Blogger” from time to time and share some of his poetry with you.As you’ll see, it’s all about the mountain, his relationship with nature, and sometimes, even a little bit about snowmobiling. I hope you enjoy.
